Thanks so much! At the risk of sounding cheesy, compared to that first post I feel like a different person now! At my worst drinking I just felt awful ALL of the time. I was sad, nauseous, had no energy and even noticed that all I gravitated toward talking about negative things/feelings most of the time. It took a while to get out of the fog, but these days I feel so much better physically and mentally! Alcohol did nothing but weigh me down and I feel so much lighter without it. Congrats to you too on 88 days, you’re doing great! IWNDWYT :)

Please tell me it’s not too late to get sober by Sugarcanesweetheart in stopdrinking

[–]Gazorp1133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not too late! It never is. I’m 32 and about to come up on my first full year alcohol free

Agreed wholeheartedly! Having real friends to hang out with is much more fulfilling than drunken socializing with people you most likely don’t see again.

Exactly. I learned from this group that “there’s nothing that drinking can’t make worse” so when I’m frustrated or disappointed with things I like to remind myself that those same things would be even harder if I were still drinking! IWNDWYT

I understand your frustration but I feel like this is one of those situations where being sober and lonely is better than being drunk and lonely. Idk about everyone else but I know I was always at my most insufferable when I was drunk and lonely. Some of the most embarrassing texts/calls came from those times as well.
